Registration
All newly admitted and active continuing students who do not have
a university hold on their record are eligible
to register. Tuition and applicable fees are due
as billed by the payment deadline published in
each trimester’s schedule of classes. See the
schedule of classes for the registration dates
for each trimester and payment schedules and
deadlines.
Maximum Credit-hour Load.
Students may register for up to 16 hours during any
trimester or up to nine hours in either Block 2 (courses
in the first half of the trimester) or Block 3 (courses
in the last half of the trimester). Permission from the
college dean is required to exceed these credit-hour
maximums.
Course Prerequisites and Corequisites.
A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before
registration in a particular course. A corequisite is a
course that is taken simultaneously with, or before,
another course. A concurrent course is a course taken at
the same time as another course. Prerequisites and
corequisites for courses are indicated in the listing of
courses in this catalog.
Continuing Student Status.
Continuing students at Governors State University are
defined as degree-seeking students whose enrollment at
Governors State has not been interrupted for more than
five years. This does not include students who have
enrolled in accredited programs where accreditation
requirements prohibit return to active status following
non-enrollment for more than three to 14 consecutive
terms. Students in such accredited programs may return
only with the program director’s permission.
Enrollment is defined as registration for
one or more credit-hours or audit (noncredit
programs/courses are excluded). Degree-seeking students
are subject to the curricular requirements in effect at
the time of their initial admission and who maintain
active continuing student status.
Degree-seeking students who lose continuing
status must reapply and be readmitted. They will be
subject to the admission and curricular requirements of
the university, college, and specific major in effect at
the time of readmission.
Add and Drop.
Students may add courses any time during the
registration period as listed in the academic calendar.
However, courses may not be added after the end of the
registration period for each block of classes. In
addition, students may drop a course or courses up to
the tenth day of regularly scheduled classes without
penalty.
Deadline for Withdrawals. Courses dropped after the tenth day of regularly scheduled
classes and by the withdrawal deadline appear on the
student’s academic record with a grade of “W” (student
initiated withdrawal). No withdrawals will be accepted
after specified deadlines unless approved by the
registrar through the appeals process.
Full-time Student Status.
An undergraduate student is considered to be enrolled
full-time for any given trimester if they are enrolled
in 12 credit hours for that term. A graduate student
(master’s/doctoral) is considered to be enrolled
full-time for any given trimester if they are enrolled
in 9 credit hours for that term.
